Is this trip right for you?
No two journeys in Africa are identical. There will be many early starts either to make use of the better safari time or to beat the morning traffic on long travel days. Be prepared for travel times to be longer or shorter than advised. Weather and road conditions can change things significantly, so embrace the detours, shortcuts, and unforgettable moments along the way.
This is an overland trip. That means you’ll be travelling with a group in a purpose-built vehicle, visiting remote communities, setting up your tent, occasionally roughing it in the bush with no facilities, and getting the best possible views of iconic African wildlife. For more info on this style of travel, see our Africa overland page at tuuur.com/africa/overland.
Camping in the Serengeti National Park with no barriers between you and the animals is amazing, but it's important to heed the safety advice of your leader. You'll be briefed on arrival.
The day-to-day itinerary features a selection of optional activities. Please note that this list is not exhaustive and is intended only as a guide. Prices are approximate and may change at the discretion of the local provider. All activities are subject to availability.
Some passengers will have been travelling together prior to the start of this trip. You may also want to check out The Masai Heartlands if you have more time to explore in East Africa.

This trip was truly incredible. From the friendly team led by Joseph, to wild camping in the Serengeti and being visited by elephant at night, we had an amazing time. I would book again in a heartbeat.

Having the opportunity to wild camp in the Serengeti with Intrepid is something I will cherish forever. The experience was safe and fun and we were lucky enough to see some Serengeti wildlife pass through the campsite

This trip was such an amazing experience from start to finish. Camping most nights made it feel so real and exciting, we would go to sleep with the sounds of the animals all around and wake up to some of the most beautiful sunrises ive ever seen. The guides were great at spotting things we would’ve missed and shared so much about the animals and the culture in the local area. Plus, traveling in a small group made it feel friendly and fun, like we were all sharing the adventure together. It’s the kind of trip that feels once-in-a-lifetime, and I’d say anyone who loves nature, animals, and adventure would love it.
